“Your Attitude Matters more than Your Intelligence and Experience” ―Professor M.S.Rao











“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal, nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude” ―Thomas Jefferson


Attitude is essential not only to ensure success in your career but also in your life. Attitude brings credibility and respect and keeps individuals stay grounded.  In my teaching profession, I found some students who are average academically reaching top at the end while some students who are very intelligent staying at the same level without any significant career growth.  I found that these intelligent students took their intelligence for granted due to their excessive ego.  Some of them also developed negative attitude. In contrast, the average students touched the tipping point due to their positive attitude and perseverance.  Therefore, attitude is more important than the so called intelligence.

When you attend employment interview, the recruiters emphasize on your attitude than on your intelligence and experience. They appreciate candidates with a great attitude with nil experience than the ones with a nil attitude and rich experience. Companies are ready to invest their money to train and groom candidates with a right attitude despite not having experience. In contrast, the candidates with high experience and negative attitude are always a liability to companies as they often play petty politics and harm organizational interests. Herb Kelleher of Southwest Airlines right remarked, “Attitude is very important and has to be weighed with experience and skills. Someone with a high IQ who is a backbiter is a disaster for your organization. Someone who is outgoing and altruistic and can work convivially will be a huge asset.” Therefore, attitude is more important than your intelligence and experience. Remember, higher the attitude higher your altitude of success!


“The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.” ―William James

“N. Chandrababu Naidu and K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) must Focus on Developmental Issues in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana State” ―Professor M.S.Rao












"There are seven things that will destroy us: Wealth without work; Pleasure without conscience; Knowledge without character; Religion without sacrifice; Politics without principle; Science without humanity; Business without ethics."
―Mahatma Gandhi


Currently the battle is going between the chief ministers of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana State on cash-for-vote scam. It seems there is no end for this issue. Is it essential to pay this much of attention on this issue rather than on developmental issues?

Ever since Telangana movement started by K. Chandrasekhar Rao, (KCR), there is a widening rift between him and N Chandrababu Naidu.  It appears more like a personal battle between KCR and Naidu than between the Telugus (Telugus are always one emotionally and linguistically). Unfortunately, they are instigating Telugus of both States to settle their personal scores. The creation of Telangana State is due the personal rift between KCR and Naidu. Now Telangana State is a reality. Therefore, KCR must focus on development of Telangana State. Similarly, Naidu must focus on the development of Andhra Pradesh. Almost one year has passed; nothing concrete has come out in Andhra Pradesh.

It is rightly said that in the war of politics it is the innocent people who get killed. Leaders always safeguard their positions and their families. They also fill their private coffers. These leaders hardly care for their people. They make lots of political promises to come to power to fool people. If required, they instigate people to fight against each other cultural and community basis.  Both KCR and Naidu must behave like mature leaders in public places. KCR must check his acerbic tongue and Naidu should stop his double games.  Both must know that people are watching them closely. People gave them mandate to govern and develop their respective states, and not to indulge in mudslinging.

The Telugu community is suffering because of petty politics by these politicians for their political ends. It is more of a personal battle than a professional battle without any ideologies. And the governor is sandwiched between the devil and the deep sea.

Leaders must avoid petty politics and mudslinging in public places. They must keep people’s interest above politics. In democracy, people are Gods and they can throw away such politicians in next elections.  Politicians are permitted to make political attacks. If they make personal attacks against other communities and cultures, it brings down their images and people will team them lesson.  


“Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other.” ―Oscar Ameringer

“Father’s Day Special! – Are Fathers the Real Leaders in the Society?” ―Professor M.S.Rao










“One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.” ―George Herbert


Father’s Day is celebrated on June 21, 2015 (third Sunday of June every year). It is to honor fathers who struggled, sacrificed and showed their commitment toward their children to groom them as responsible, committed and healthy citizens.  In fact, fathers are the leaders who display example to their children and lead from the front by sharing love and providing guidance.  Father is a guru, guide and mentor to children.  According to the Hindu philosophy, mothers, fathers and educators are respected in order.  Globally parents and educators are respected for their contribution.

In some countries, mother’s contribution is accorded more importance than father’s because mother carries the child in her womb. But father struggles to earn livelihood for family. Mother often gives love while father often takes responsibility toward family. Mother often appears to be tender while father appears to be hard.  Additionally, it is observed that daughters love their fathers and sons love their mothers.

True fathers take a great interest in upbringing of their children.  They teach how to ride a bike, learn swimming, play games, read good books, write articles and speak well. They constantly care and guide their children.  They groom their children as leaders. Despite resistance from children, they don’t give up their responsibility to groom children as well-rounded personalities. They impart education and emphasize on character building.  They prefer sharing their knowledge to sharing their wealth. They prepare their children to face challenges in their lives. Whenever their children fail and fall, they handhold and keep them on the right track and fast-track. They give immense importance to their children and invest their energy, resources and time on their children rather than on making too much of money. When children grow as healthy citizens, it is the mothers and fathers who are honored for their contribution.


Challenges for Senior Citizens

It is unfortunate that people take their parents and elders for granted. They cry when they lose the latter.  When their parents are alive, they bring up irrelevant differences and distance themselves from parents. At times, they don’t treat their parents well due to attitudinal problems.  Worse, some people fight with their parents on property issues thus bringing agony in old age.  Charles Wadsworth rightly remarked, “By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he’s wrong.”  Hence, there must be a right attitude towards parents. Above all, they must empathize with their parents.


Conclusion

“To a father growing old nothing is dearer than a daughter.” ―Euripides

Technology is both a boon and bane as it connected unknown people virtually and separated known people physically. It converted the globe into a small village where people do anything and everything at the click of a button.  At the same time, people don’t find time to connect physically.  Therefore, celebrating important days like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day bring people together to spend their time. Remember, physical and emotional interaction is more important than virtual interaction.

Both mothers and fathers play key roles to bring up their children. Mothers express their emotions externally while fathers keep within themselves.  They must be equally respected for sharing their love and taking responsibilities. On the eve of Father’s Day, I implore all children to spend their precious time with their fathers rather than on technology to make them truly special. Children must recognize the efforts and contribution made by their parents. It connects them emotionally despite having differences with them.  It cements relations to achieve peace and happiness.  Life is great!


“Any man can be a Father but it takes someone special to be a dad.” — Anne Geddes
